The beach Bella and I visited today faces south, so while we sat on a log eating our pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds), my face got a touch of sunburn! I was barefoot with cropped pants, but wore four layers including a windbreaker on top, because the breeze was cutting. We walked and walked, and my friend found a few pieces of kelp to bring home, but nothing looked fresh enough to tempt me.
I hadn’t been to the beach in more than a week, so I was feeling needy. And today seemed a bit rushed, so I hope to get back again soon, to a spot where there is not so much debris. I’d like to have a longer spell of relaxed squish-squishing in the wet sand.

I would love to visit a beach again. Your lovely descriptions have hardened my resolve to do so before too many months have passed.

Your sea-weeding beach trips remind me of the mudlarking folks on the river banks, finding interesting treasures. I love that you can get a sunburn (ok, a tan!) in February! Not here!

I wondered if you roast your own pumpkin seeds and if so, how?

I tried that once or twice, but it wasn’t a successful project! The ones we ate on the beach were from Stony Brook Wholehearted Foods, grown and roasted in New York State. https://store.wholeheartedfoods.com/us-grown-pumpkin-seeds/
I find all their varieties to be delicious.
